Clarification

I have to clarify something on those who've seen that "ecumenism of blood" thing around the internet, implying those of non-Catholic faith are rewarded for their "martyrdom""

If you did not die for the One True Church, your death was in vain for there is no salvation outside the Church. Period.

Enough is enough.

1000-year old Christian community expelled from Mosul ny ISIS

Before I make this blog post, I must say something:

May the demonic, mentally sick, sexually aberrant, violent, evil and influenced-by-Satan spirit of the "Prophet" Muhammad (the blood of a million pigs be upon him) be in the lowest, deserved, most sordid layer of Hell forever.

This is insane. This is insane. The people that worship that child-raping belligerent Arab faggot they call a "Prophet" are insane. They do not have the right to do this as the world belongs to Christ. This whole world belongs to Our Lord Jesus Christ and no one else. Islam has no place in this world and it shouldn't exist. If these belligerent retards with no sense of reason or logic can so easily expel a holy people from a holy land, they don't deserve to exist. No dignity. No respect. There is none deserved at all in the world OR this country.

Hello, Protestantism, my old friend..

I am not converting back to Protestantism, of course not. I was Protestant for about a year in high school of the evangelical type as I was coming into the Christian fold for the first time. [I was baptized, but cultural Catholics, man.] However, I did notice something striking among them, something that could even cause the irk of some Catholics.

The Anglican Church of England, the state religion of which the Queen is the head, has decided to make the female "episcopacy" a thing. Voting on it and making, for some clerics, their dreams come true. This should deeply worry all Catholics and shake them in their core. Is there a reason why? Yes.

Francis and his German heretic friend, "Cardinal" Walter Kasper are holding a Synod on Marriage and the Family in October of this year. Knowing the deep, deep heresies Francis holds that in no way represent religion, for that matter, we are in for a poisonous treat. They want to allow divorced and remarried Catholics to receive Communion. The non-Christians, feminists, heretics and sexual degenerates claiming to the Catholic moniker might cheer. Hell, they might even ask "What's so wrong with that?" You see, this outright breaks the Sixth Commandment. There's no bloody mincing words here, I mean, it's breaking the Sixth Commandment - Thou shalt not commit adultery. Those in valid Catholic marriages that civilly divorce are in adultery because the first marriage is still valid and was never dissolved. Legal verbiage has nothing on the laws of God and His Church.

That is why Catholics should be concerned that Britain recently allowed the female "episcopacy". It's a ticking time bomb. If one can so easily corrupt religion like that, it could happen with the Pope, especially a Pope like Francis. Such a thing will invariably lead to the loss of members, souls and even a schism. The Church of England has dug itself into a hole that its more conservative lot will find itself getting out of before it sinks, getting themselves into a Catholic parish - hopefully traditional, more than likely. They'll realize it defies the Holy Bible and get out. The same thing will happen with Catholicism, the Novus Ordo church.

God be with us in this troubled time...

Why don't people care?

First, something of my personal life. This will (sadly) shock ye:

I still attend the Novus Ordo. :(

This is not because I like the Novus Ordo. Absolutely not. I think that for the sake of the souls of almost 2 billion Catholics that could otherwise possibly be saved not perishing because of a lack of options, the Novus Ordo is a valid rite. Defective, borderline-Protestant, but valid.

Essentially, I believe that if little Juan Gutierrez in Oaxaca lives a Catholic life, attends the sacraments and frequents confession for the remission of sins, he will not fall into eternal fire for a decision he has no say in. Most countries outside the US, Canada and Francophone Europe have poor, infrequent traditional Latin Mass options and even then, some will argue with you that because the Rite of Episcopal Consecration was used post-1968, even the FSSP/ICKSP some SSPX priests are not valid, which would cause difficulties in the sacraments and so on and so forth. It can and does get very convoluted.

I attend the Novus Ordo because one is 10 minutes from me and I believe with the Mind of the Church - that is, missing Mass on Sundays except for severe reasons is a sin. I do not have a car or driver's license because I never needed one until very recently, so I must get a ride. That is the only reason why. Oddly enough, it was actually a great parish last year. But now, I'm starting to realize the apathy in the people, even the pastor as I shift towards Traditional Catholicism.

Why do so many people receive the Body and Blood of Our Lord at Mass? The laity receiving Him in all his spotless glory is fine. If anything, it's joyous. The problem is...it's everyone, and I mean, everyone. Remember, brethren, we are Catholics and not Evangelicals. Evangelical Protestants, God bless them, are good people. I credit them with my finding of Our Lord and eventually His Church. The problem is their doctrine in "believe in Jesus Christ and be 'saved'." That does not work in Catholicism. We recognize the stain of original sin and realize that man is fallen. Man can and will sin, for the Lord gave us free will. When we sin mortally, we must go to Confession.
I am not judging those in the Communion lines. Not at all. It's just that when you consider the fallen nature of man and how often we sin mortally, you recognize the problem.

Another sign that they don't care is that Mass is being said irreverently. Is there some need to speed up the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass as if we have to board a flight in the next hour? A quick Mass is sloppy, disrespectful to Christ the High Priest and absolutely not needed. Yes, the Low Mass of the EF can be said rather quickly - "30 minutes or less" like some ad for food, but that's simply because certain items of the Mass can be omitted: e.g., Credo, Homily, Gloria (except on I & II class days) In this, there is no need though. A regular Sunday Mass, a High Mass if you will, must take time - time to avow in Jesus the High Priest in birth, life, death, to avow the beauty of the Blessed Trinity

There is no need for quick Masses, or homilies with worldly references. I want to hear Sacred Scripture referenced in homilies. Church Doctors, the Popes, the Saints. I don't want to hear about the bloody movies or something.

Sigh. Maybe I'll be going parish shopping. There's an FSSP parish, All Saints, and several TLM places here in the Twin Cities:

  • Sacred Heart, Robbinsdale
  • St. Agnes - St. Paul
  • Holy Trinity - St. Paul
I need the Traditional Mass. Not something worldly. I can't attend St. Stephen's anymore. I feel worn out when I come out of the Novus Ordo, like I don't want to be there anymore. It's really hurting me. Sigh.
